Family members of a deceased person invited two professional mourners to dance at his funeral in Erode, Tamil Nadu, India, on November 11. .

The two women danced energetically near the body of the man, which was kept inside the home, till it was cremated.

Many communities in Tamil Nadu organise dance performances by professional mourners to celebrate death.

They believe that death is a relief from pain and suffering, and is an event that should be celebrated than mourned.

The tradition is now in slow decline.
